I don't understand why people are so ready to write the game off. Regardless, I'll be playing it day 1.

Me either. I think it's a combo of Ubisoft, the so called downgrade and delays. I've mostly been pleased with new ips from ubi, I see nothing but awesome in these videos, and the delay only slightly annoyed me. Too soon to tell but if it turns out to be great which I expect it will, oh well. Their loss imo, I'll bee enjoying it.

21. you can hack into other player's missions, thus spoiling the time they spent on it already and prevent them from getting hte reward of the mission
I wonder how it is possible that we still have no idea how Ayden controls the electronic things, is this when he controls the server, a list / map appears of all the things he can control (that would be 1000s of things so not practical), or he must go everywhere and the things that can be controller get highlighted (hopefully when you push a button because seeing things highlighted everywhere would be distracting). My problem is in the videos we've seen until now, things happen for no apparent reason, so it could be "push the button and something magic will happen and help you", which would be lame.

I think you're asking how he controls the things around him?

If you didn't know, the backstory is that some mayor installed the CtOS system which controls all of Chicago. Aiden somehow managed to get access to the CtOS system. (How he got it is unknown, it'll probably tell us in the story at some point.)

from what I've seen, when Aiden is hacking things, a node-like object appears over the hackable object. It usually appears near the closest object that can be hacked.

thanks, I missed that part, I always see the info bubble on people but didn't see this above objects ; I'm not sure it's practical though, I guess you use the D-pad to navigate through the objects you can hack and use, but it may be tight to select the one you want in hot situations (like a car chase scene I've seen wher Aiden hacks a garage door, I don't know how you could think of a possible garage door when speeding to escape someone)

hey guys just wanted to come in here and post that this game makes me want to punch kittens.

problem?

I'm allergic to cats. so punch away

However, when this game turns out to be better than Infamous Second Son...well, I hope that crow won't be too bitter for some of you.

When I look at some of the car chases, the nodes pop up when you're nearing them. They give you a fair amount of time to press and hold square or another button to cause the hack. You can check out a car chase video from some of the watchdogs footage to judge for yourself.

I've also seen some footage where aiden opens up a wheel-like selection pad on the screen which allows you to cause certain other hacks (I saw phone disruption and light controlling). I guess these could be caused from just about anywhere.

So long story short, I guess you'll have some hacks when you're close by and some hacks you can always use.
